I’m back where I can get online. Bush is spending a fair amount of time in MI this week, and of course Republicans have been encouraged by some of the polling there. Interestingly, though, the futures contract at tradesports.com isn’t buying the Republican optimism. A share that pays $1 if Bush takes the state is trading in the low twenty cents. The price of a Bush-wins-New-Mexico contract, on the other hand, has surged to above 50 cents.
